Meet Dr. Jess

What inspired you to pursue a career in medicine … 
Medicine was actually my first childhood dream, and despite changing my mind countless times over the years about my dream job, I always came back to it. I love how my career is a blend of science and art, where I can help people in vulnerable moments, offering them comfort. I also get to bring positive news when things go well, and, above all, I find the work incredibly fun. 

What led you to The Face Place? 
The Face Place appealed to me as it was founded by a medical doctor whose core values align with my own. This is important as I am both a provider and a consumer within cosmetic medicine. It is a privilege to being trained in-house by The Face Place Academy and its founder, Dr. Catherine Stone. 

What are you looking forward to about working at TFP? 
The team dynamic at The Face Place is fantastic. I’m also excited about the ongoing regular training that ensures we stay up-to-date with the latest guidelines and evidence-based products. This helps me share knowledge with my clients, and see the results on a variety of individuals who come to us. 

What can clients expect when they come to see you? 
A collaborative approach – we’ll work together as a team to identify their concerns and explore options to address them. If necessary, I can refer them to other team members with the most suitable skill set. And importantly, there’s absolutely no obligation to proceed with any treatment if they feel it’s not the right fit for them. 

What do you think are some of the biggest misconceptions in cosmetic injectables today? 
People forget cosmetic injectables are a medical treatment. Many would do thorough research before seeing a GP or surgeon, or Google a new medication they’re being prescribed. I encourage my clients to treat their cosmetic experience with the same level of importance as a regular medical appointment. Ask questions, address any knowledge gaps, and ensure you fully understand what you’re receiving and how it works. 

What advice would you give to someone considering their first cosmetic treatment? 

Beauty is very subjective, and what works for one person might not be the best choice for you. It’s really important to have a formal consultation to discuss your expectations, the benefits, and any risks associated with the treatment. And most importantly, have fun with the process! This is about enhancing how you feel and look, so enjoy the journey. 

What is one thing clients might be surprised to learn about you? 

Before entering healthcare, I was a party planner in Hong Kong! I’ve planned everything from bar openings and conferences to weddings and birthday parties. It taught me a lot about organisation and creativity, which I think translates well into the work I do now. 

Three words to describe yourself? 

I’d like to think advocate, personable, level-headed.   

How do you spend your spare time? 
Outside of cosmetic medicine, I’m a doctor working in anaesthesiology, and I spend most of my time in operating theatres. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends. A nice weekend brunch to a dog friendly café is an ideal type of day.
